2012 Banner Bank Scholarship Winners Announced
"Banner Bank is proud to reward these local students for their hard work," said Kirk Quillin, Banner Bank Senior Vice President. "We enjoy having the chance to help these outstanding students further their education."
The scholarships were open to any student who attended a high school in Spokane County and were based on achievement in four areas: scholarship, leadership, community involvement, and character.
"This was a phenomenal group of students and it was very difficult to select just five winners," said Indians Senior Vice President, Otto Klein. "The scholarship program illustrates the Spokane Indians and Banner Bank's continued commitment to education in our community."
During the seven-year partnership between Banner Bank and the Spokane Indians, 36 area students have received a total of $18,000 to help fund their college education.
The students and their families will be guests on Wednesday, July 11th for $100 Strikeout Night presented by Banner Bank and Rock 94.5 FM, and will be honored in a pre-game ceremony.
The Spokane Indians are the Short Season Class "A" affiliate for the Texas Rangers. The Indians open the 2012 season on Friday, June 15th against the Vancouver Canadians with Opening Night Fireworks & AAA Magnet Schedule Giveaway presented by Les Schwab Tires, KREM-2 TV, 93.7 The Mountain, and SportsRadio 1510 KGA.
